ABA Names All-Star Teams
March 16, 2010 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release
Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) today released its 2009-2010 All Star teams and once again, it showed the tremendous talent throughout the league. "This was very tough this year," stated Joe Newman, ABA CEO. "We have so many teams and so many great players, it was really difficult and we do feel that we've left quite a few players off that definitely deserved recognition for their outstanding play. One thing is for sure, I'd put either the East or West team up against any team in professional basketball, including the NBA, and it would be very competitive."
